Its getting sad and pathetic that this kind of violence has to happen. 7 dead this time around. Just no way to stop it sadly.

A Sikh temple? Hmmm, quite unusual outside of the usual hotspots for there to be trouble there. Could be a disgruntled Muslim, a misguided right-winger or just another nutter with a gun.
Either which way a terrible event.

Sikh <> Muslim.
They just happen to look similar.
Sikhism is a monotheistic faith that was founded in South Asia more than 500 years ago. It has roughly 27 million followers worldwide. Observant Sikhs do not cut their hair; male followers often cover their heads with turbans - which are considered sacred - and refrain from shaving their beards. There are roughly 500,000 Sikhs in the U.S., according to estimates. The majority worldwide live in India.
Figured it woul be worth noting that before We went down that road.

Anyone remember that shooting in September, 2001 where a Sikh gas station owner was shot in Mesa, AZ by a "patriot" who wanted revenge for the 911 attacks?
Stupid people have been confusing Sikh with Muslims for a while. :nope:

There has been plenty of animosity between the two (along with Hindi). Though odds are it is some nutjob who hates Muslims and doesn't know the difference (or care).

Now they're saying he may have been a white supremacist.

At least the police shot this guy dead and saved us from the crazy media stampede determined to show us every little detail about his hearings, incarceration, and trial.
Within a week nobody will remember his name.
Looks like the nutcases are on the loose!! Instead of shooting anyone at this mosque, he burned it down. Luckily, no one was hurt. If we catch him, instead of locking him up here in the States, we should send him to a prison in Afghanistan or Pakistan. Wonder how funny he would think that would be!

One should hope so, but I think he will be seen as a martyr in the White Power scene - RAHOWA and crap like this :down:

I rather see him dead so the media doesn't give that trash more attention then it ever deserved.

As an aside, I read in one of the articles somewhere, he used a 9MM handgun. I'm now waiting for the gun control news articles to appear saying we have too many handguns and they should be banned now.
A gun regulation/restriction/ban does not help against morons like this guy.

Figures this had to happen the same day we managed to land Curiosity on Mars. One step into the future, two steps back into our caves.
Apparently the guy was in PsyOps for the US Army, so he probably knew the distinction between Muslims and Sikhs. He only did what he did for the sake that he didn't like anyone who wasn't white period.

Neo Nazis are cowards :down: Just read a pro nazi did the shootings
There was a murder down here few years ago, in the South where mainly the Nazi skinheads hang out cause if they come up north the Maoris & Pacific islanders beat them up. :haha:
Two pro nazi skinheads picked up a young 20 something Japanese hitch hiker and strangled him to death, how they did it was the sickest thing i had to read. They asked him to help change a tirer so he went round back to to the boot when one of them grabbed him by the throat in a armlock position and started strangling him while the other grabbed his arms and held on to them while looking him in the eye and laughing while he was being strangled. They had no problem telling this to the detectives when caught. There hatred towards other races is so bad you cannot call these people human.

He also was discharged from the Army for being a complete screw up so he very likely performed in a very poor manner in his duties.A PsyOps guy might also just be the guy that drives around in a vehicle with loud speakers and knows how to disperse the data.Someone else comes up with the stuff.

Yeah it's a big jump from Missile Crewman to Psy Ops. It sort of sounds like he lost his security clearance and got involuntarily reclassified.
